“The US sanctions are no concern of ours. We only fulfill our international obligations, above all, with regard to sanctions. This is the decision of the UN Security Council.”

“All other unilateral restrictions imposed bypassing the Security Council in violation of the general norms of the international law are of no interest to us.”

“So, let our American colleagues study the issue. Perhaps it will useful for them to come to the conclusion that far from all corresponds to their vision of international law.”

Days earlier Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said “the decision on possibly supplying S-300 to Iran has already been made by the Russian president, and technical issues of this matter are being discussed. This is an exclusively bilateral issue. Participation of third countries is not envisaged and is not required.”

In April, Putin lifted the ban on supplying Tehran with S-300s after P5+1 countries and Iran signed a preliminary nuclear agreement.
